This came as Lagos government dismissed any plan to take over the burnt popular Alade Market, Allen, Ikeja, saying “it would only enumerate and investigate the cause of it with a view to forestalling future occurrence.”

Fashola, who spoke during a visit by the management of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, led by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Rahman Bello, at the state house, Alausa, said: “The disconnection between our educational curricula from our evolving needs is responsible for the poor performance of the country’s economy.

“The performance of the nation’s economy is a function of the quality of education those managing it received.”
